# Linux Kernel Note
|
||||||
|
I see this configuration option and note in a 6.5 kernel:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI:
|
||||||
|
Historically the kernel has allowed TIOCSTI, which will push
|
||||||
|
characters into a controlling TTY. This continues to be used
|
||||||
|
as a malicious privilege escalation mechanism, and provides no
|
||||||
|
meaningful real-world utility any more. Its use is considered
|
||||||
|
a dangerous legacy operation, and can be disabled on most
|
||||||
|
systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Say Y here only if you have confirmed that your system's
|
||||||
|
userspace depends on this functionality to continue operating
|
||||||
|
normally.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Processes which run with CAP_SYS_ADMIN, such as BRLTTY, can
|
||||||
|
use TIOCSTI even when this is set to N.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This functionality can be changed at runtime with the
|
||||||
|
dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti sysctl. This configuration option sets
|
||||||
|
the default value of the sysctl.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Symbol: LEGACY_TIOCSTI [=y]
|
||||||
|
Type : bool
|
||||||
|
Defined at drivers/tty/Kconfig:152
|
||||||
|
Prompt: Allow legacy TIOCSTI usage
|
||||||
|
Depends on: TTY [=y]
|
||||||
|
Location:
|
||||||
|
-> Device Drivers
|
||||||
|
-> Character devices
|
||||||
|
-> Enable TTY (TTY [=y])
|
||||||
|
-> Allow legacy TIOCSTI usage (LEGACY_TIOCSTI [=y])
|
||||||
|
```
